sap-hana-cli — Claude Code plugin: what it does, how to install
sap-hana-cli lets Claude Code work with SAP HANA databases through MCP tools for schema inspection, data transfer, monitoring, and administration.
/plugin install sap-hana-cli@claude-plugins-official
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-officialWhat sap-hana-cli does
sap-hana-cli gives Claude Code an MCP connection to SAP HANA Cloud and on-premise systems. Its toolset covers table queries, schema inspection, CSV, Excel, and JSON data transfers, data-quality checks, schema comparison, privilege audits, backups, and system diagnostics. The README lists 166 MCP tools.
It also includes command discovery, examples, guided troubleshooting, CDS generation, test-data creation, and HDI container tasks. Connection settings can come from default-env-admin.json, .cdsrc-private.json, .env, VCAP_SERVICES, default-env.json, or ~/.hana-cli/default.json; the plugin checks them in that order. Node.js 20.19.0 or newer is required, so older runtimes will stop setup from working.
